Core value?
Su Daji's primordial spirit fell into chaos.
She understood those two words.
But when combined together and asked by the man before her, they were even harder to understand than the most profound Heavenly Dao runes.
Who was she?
She was the Nine-tailed Celestial Fox of Xuanyuan Tomb, a demon immortal under Empress Nuwa, and the Consort Su of the Great Shang dynasty.
Her value was to bewitch the ruler, turn all living beings upside down, and reduce that glorious dynasty to ashes at her fingertips.
That was her mission.
It was the supreme honor bestowed upon her by Empress Nuwa.
"My core value..."
She raised her head. For the first time, confusion appeared in those seductive eyes that could make heaven and earth pale.
She tried to answer the question using logic she could understand.
"It is... to make Di Xin fall, to drive loyal ministers apart, and to completely sever Great Shang's fate."
"I... I am carrying out Empress Nuwa's will."
She brought out her greatest backer.
Chen Changsheng listened quietly, his face expressionless.
But Zhao Gongming, the "Dean of Academic Affairs" beside him, had already taken out a Jade Slip and begun recording at high speed.
"Record: The target's self-positioning contains severe deviations."
"She has mistakenly understood 'execution actions' as 'core value.'"
"She lacks an abstract and quantifiable understanding of 'value' itself."
Zhao Gongming's voice was not loud, but every word was clear, like a scalpel dissecting Daji's pale answer.
Daji's face turned even whiter.
"Ms. Su, you did not understand my question."
Chen Changsheng spoke, his tone as calm as if he were commenting on the pleasant weather.
"'Making Di Xin fall' is your work content."
"'Severing Great Shang's fate' is your Project Objectives."
"And 'carrying out Empress Nuwa's will' is your job responsibility."
